Omens come to us
a warning
or an invitation
ignored in favor of trophies
further disconnection
from the Earth…
the white moose walks
a rarity
targeted for the hunt
sounding its cry
to call us together
as the time of the monsters
returns…
omens sound the alarm
in wisdom ancient
from another heartbeat
and we must choose
to remain ignorant
or to listen at last – Caroline A. Slee
